ON this date in 1911 - The first old-age home for pioneers opened in Prescott, AZ.
Local proprietors, Bun Man an Mr. Purple, set the bar high for admittance.
Seems a pioneer had to prove he was one and when these 'civilized' old-age roughnecks came to enter, the Boyz said they couldn't be pioneers due to being civilized.
One of the rejects said they should call the place Hotel Arizona...
"You can check in anytime you like, you can just never get in..."
